You best bet is junk yard hunting.
I think 83 or 84 up to 86 is what you need,
Before 83 the York compressor was used and uses a different bracket.
87 up use 1 belt and believe is a totally different bracket.
Now vans will have the bracket also but I dont know if they used the York compressor like ours or not?
I do know the van uses a different power steering pump, a much better GM style type.
If you can get the PS pump, brackets and hoses it should bolt onto your truck and be an upgrade of the PS pump.
My 81 F100 runs the GM PS pump and the later AC compressor.

Part numbers
Franklin2,
Thanks for the picture. Do you know how to determine the prefix for the parts numbers? I've been to all kinds of junkyards in my area and 300's are rare as anything. Mostly what I found was V8sand almost all of those were the next newer body style. I spent a lot of time searching junkyards for smog and other parts, I never saw any AC brackets.

As I said look at the vans as that opens up more trucks.
But you need to get the PS pump, an upgrade to the Ford pump, as the AC brackets are built for the GM style pump.
I dont think the part number would help at the yards but the numbers listed are the prefix.
All the parts in the pictures start with the number listed and you then need to look up the full part number in the book.
Looks like "19(letter)(numberxxx)" - then part number IIRC
The only part I dont have on my motor is the rear bracket "19B890" I think all it dose is support the hoses as they come off the back of the compressor.
I have not had any issues in the 4+ years the system been installed.
I do have problems keeping the system charged
It is dead again and it was working 2 weeks ago. I am starting to hate this system. It is all new parts just will not keep a charge!

I was hoping to google the part numbers. I've got at least one person I found on FB who's willing to sell me the brackets and a used compressor.
Use some soapy water after you charge it and check all the fittings and shrader valves.Look for oily spots, leaks usually take oil with them when they leak freon.

With respect to the FB Marketplace listing, you'll probably be better served by pictures. The image @Franklin2 posted is pretty accurate.

Dose your truck have factory AC or dealer installed AC or are you trying to add AC to the truck?
I also added dye I just have to get out to the HOT garage to check it over.
It is so cool inside I dont want to go out

Sooooo, I found someone on FB and he's sending me a compressor and brackets for cheap.I think his is dealer installed. Last night I made an offer on a very nice, maybe even new bracket assembly just like the picture Franklin2 posted. It looks like I'll have nice cool AC soon.
BTW, it appears to have factory AC, but the compressor, hoses and brackets are missing.

I was also going to say that the firewalls are different between factory AC and no AC trucks so a factory HVAC box is not a bolt on.
Non-AC trucks have only 2 large holes on the firewall where AC has 3 and some of the smaller holes are in different places too.
Also note the dashes are different between the 2 trucks as is the HVAC controls.
